Abstract:

Families and family support are important influences in the development of children and youth. Young people with serious emotional or behavioral disorders are no exception. However, the behavior of these children and youth often poses serious challenges for their parents, other family members, or other legal caregivers. The purpose of this brief report is to describe changes over time in general family functioning, caregiver strain, and family resources.
